Solium Acquires Private Company Analytics Technology from VC Experts

CALGARY, Jan. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - Solium Capital Inc. ("Solium") (TSX: SUM),
the leading global provider of cloud-enabled software and services for
equity administration, financial reporting and compliance, announced
today that it has acquired intellectual property associated with the
Private Company Analysis Tool ("PCAT") from VC Experts Inc. ("VC
Experts"), a leading provider of analytics for managing and modeling
private company capital structures.

"The innovative financial modeling tools and comprehensive cap table
technology of the Private Company Analytics Tool perfectly complement
the capabilities added through our recent acquisitions of CapMx,
OptionEase and Corporate Focus, all of which provide solutions to
private and emerging growth companies and the law firms that serve
them," said Mike Broadfoot, CEO and Managing Director of Solium. "With
this acquisition, Solium now has private company solutions for all
parties -- executives, HR administrators, attorneys, paralegals,
accountants and investors."

The PCAT enables venture capital, private equity and angel investors to
model financing and exit events with confidence. Solium's clients,
especially private companies and law firms that serve them, will
benefit from this sophisticated tool that enables them to model next
rounds of financing, handle complex scenarios related to liquidity
events and calculate shareholder payouts. The PCAT will also serve the
investor community, as it assists investors to meet their ASC 820
requirements.

"VC Experts is thrilled to enable Solium to provide its clients with a
robust tool for equity management, pro-forma modeling and valuation
solutions," said VC Experts co-founder, Ross Barrett. "The PCAT can
serve a company for its entire life cycle, from the earliest stages of
capitalization, to an eventual exit via merger, acquisition, IPO or
recapitalization."

Solium and VC Experts will work together for 12-months to ensure an
efficient transition. Concurrent with the sale of PCAT, VC Experts
intends to concentrate its business on hard-to-secure, private
financing data and content.
